I am following up on my request for disciplinary action against Jan Schmidt. 1 received the police investigation
information on Friday and there we 2 minimal pieces of information regarding the warning. Please see
attached.
Aldermen Schmidt's remarks about me accosting employees outside City Hall was not accurate. As
I suspected, the only individual I spoke with was Lynn Cameron. As far as Aldermen Schmidt's remarks about
bring them to tears and frighten them, again that did not happen. The “tears” for Ms. Cameron only came in the
police interview with her boss, Louise Brown present. The police did not speak with anyone else who interfaced
with me outside of City Hall nor did the document anyone was in tears.
I am disgusted that she uses social media to post these accusations and calls me out on social media to speak to
the accusation. | do speak to the accusations with the information 1 have and as it turns out, 1 was accurate.
Aidermen Schmidt is an elected official and I believe she is deliberating spreading misinformation on social
media and in public. Her actions do not represent the harmonious nature of the chamber.
I believe the police warning I received was a complete manipulation and blow out of proportion which has
been City Hall's and the Mayor's reaction - an over-reaction. | waited 8 months to get these 2 pieces of paper.
The negative actions of Aldermen Schmidt reflects on the entire chamber. Turning a blind eye to unacceptable
behavior and allowing the "bad apples" to go unchecked is unacceptable. We all see what is happening to our
police departments nationally as a result of the "few bad apples" who get to keep their jobs and abuse their
power. The emotional outcry has been devestating and is brought on by systems protecting those that should
have been pushed out years ago.
